CLEVELAND — The Cleveland Indians and their improved bullpen will host the Kansas City Royals on Tuesday night at Progressive Field in the second game of a three-game series.The Royals won the first game 5-1 on Monday to extend their season-high winning streak to six games. The Indians have lost three in a row.One of the major reasons for Cleveland’s improved bullpen is the addition of veteran Oliver Perez [url=http://www.padresfanproshop.com/authentic-rickey-henderson-jersey]Rickey Henderson Jersey[/url] , who was signed by the Indians on June 2 after he was released by the New York Yankees.Article continues below ...The 37-year-old left-hander has pitched for eight major league teams in his 16-year career, and since joining the Indians, he has been one of the top relievers in the American League.In 40 appearances with the Indians, Perez has a 1.08 ERA while averaging 10.8 strikeouts per nine innings and holding opposing batters to a .120 batting average.Perez’s 1.08 ERA is the second lowest among AL relievers, and it’s the lowest ever by an Indians reliever with a minimum of 40 appearances.“He’s been terrific,” Indians manager Terry Francona said. “He’s held his stuff so well. We’ve allowed him to face right-handed hitters, and he’s been great. It doesn’t matter what inning we bring him in. We use him when it makes the most sense. When he’s in the game, there’s a lot of importance going on.”Tuesday’s pitching matchup features Royals left-hander Danny Duffy and Indians right-hander Mike Clevinger. Based on Duffy’s history with Cleveland [url=http://www.padresfanproshop.com/authentic-ozzie-smith-jersey]http://www.padresfanproshop.com/authentic-ozzie-smith-jersey[/url] , the Indians are one of his least favorite opponents.In 18 career appearances (14 starts) against Cleveland, Duffy is 2-9 with a 5.38 ERA. The only team that has hung more losses on Duffy than Cleveland is Detroit (10).In three starts against the Indians this year, Duffy is 0-3 with a 10.80 ERA. His last start against Cleveland came July 3, a 6-4 loss in which he pitched six innings, giving up six runs and eight hits with three strikeouts and two walks.Duffy won his last start, a 9-2 decision over the Tigers on Aug. 29. In that game, he pitched six innings, allowing one run and two hits with six strikeouts and three walks. In four starts in August [url=http://www.padresfanproshop.com/authentic-cory-spangenberg-jersey]Cory Spangenberg Jersey[/url] , Duffy was 1-2 with a 6.04 ERA.Clevinger is an unsung member of a Cleveland starting rotation whose 3.40 ERA ranks second in the AL, trailing only Houston (3.20).Clevinger ranks seventh in the league in innings pitched (170 1/3) and eighth in ERA. He hasn’t lost since July 28. In six starts since then, he is 3-0 with a 2.21 ERA. Clevinger’s last start was a 5-3 win over Minnesota on Aug. 30, when he pitched 6 2/3 innings, giving up no earned runs and four hits with nine strikeouts and one walk.The last time Clevinger faced the Royals was Aug. 24, a 5-4 Indians loss, which was not charged to Clevinger. In that game, he pitched six innings [url=http://www.padresfanproshop.com/authentic-eric-hosmer-jersey]http://www.padresfanproshop.com/authentic-eric-hosmer-jersey[/url] , allowing three runs and four hits, with eight strikeouts and two walks.In eight career appearances (seven starts) against Kansas City, Clevinger is 4-0 with a 2.49 ERA.The Indians on Monday placed third baseman Josh Donaldson on the 10-day disabled list with a strained left calf. Donaldson was acquired in a trade with Toronto on Aug. 31. Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Rich Hill doesn't think President Donald Trump should be worrying about the World Series.Trump took to Twitter after Game 4 of the World Series to question the decisions of manager Dave Roberts:Donald J. Trump realDonaldTrumpWatching the Dodgers/Red Sox final innings. It is amazing how a manager takes out a pitcher who is loose amp;amp; dominating through almost 7 innings, Rich Hill of Dodgers, and brings in nervous reliever(s) who get shellacked. 4 run lead gone. Managers do it all the time, big mistake!Hill believes there are more important things for the president to worry about."There was a mass shooting yesterday," the pitcher said Sunday, per Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times. "...The focus [url=http://www.padresfanproshop.com/authentic-jose-pirela-jersey]http://www.padresfanproshop.com/authentic-jose-pirela-jersey[/url] , in my opinion, of the president is to be on the country, and not on moves that are made in a World Series game."Trump certainly wasn't the only one questioning Roberts after Game 4.Hill was outstanding against the Boston Red Sox on Saturday, allowing no runs and just one hit in his first six innings while the Dodgers built a 4-0 lead. However, he walked the first batter he faced in the seventh inning and was quickly removed in favor of Scott Alexander.Three batters later, Mitch Moreland hit a three-run home run to trim the lead. The Red Sox eventually earned a 9-6 win to go up 3-1 in the World Series.While the decision to remove the starter was highly debated within the sports world, Hill clearly believes the president's attention should be elsewhere.The pitcher noted the shooting in Pittsburgh on Saturday during which a mankilled 11 peoplein a synagogue.
